K-State, Notre Dame move up in Top 25

NEW YORK (AP) — No. 3 Kansas State and No. 4 Notre Dame each moved up a spot in The Associated Press college football poll, setting up a final four of sorts for the last month of the regular season.

Alabama is No. 1 for the ninth straight week and it is unanimous. The Crimson Tide received all 60 first-place votes. Oregon is No. 2 for the sixth straight week.

Florida’s 17-9 loss on Saturday to Georgia dropped the Gators five spots to No. 8 and allowed Kansas State and Notre Dame each to move up a spot after victories.

Now the top four are all undefeated and none will play any other the rest of the way.

LSU is No. 5, followed by Ohio State and Georgia, which moved up five spots.
